A new student initiative titled "Trick or Eat" has raised 2380 pounds of food for the Metro Food Bank. Since their original intention was to achieve one metric tonne (or 2200 pounds) they went over the top with their goal.
The students went door to door throughout Metro over the Halloween weekend. They were in costume, in groups of four and with shopping carts. Enterprise Car Rentals, Sobeys, Spend Less and other corporate sponsors provided cars, vans and carts for this worthwhile event.
Trick or Eat is a program within Meal Exchange, a national program. Since its creation in 1993 over 50,000 students have collected the equivalent of 300,000 meals.

They're joined by some of the more than 80 student volunteers from 黄色直播, University of Kings College, and Saint Mary's University ... and more than a tonne of groceries!
